I loved the elephant sanctuary. It was definitely ethical because the elephants were very looked after, they ate very well and appeared to be in perfect and healthy condition. They had lots of space to roam about. The staff were also excellent with the elephants and they taught us a lot about each one. They also gave us lots of fruit to feed them. They also told us how they make paper with the elephant faeces which was amazing to know.x we had a great experience and I’d love to do it all over again.

This was an amazing experience. The location is beautiful, the guides were super informative and the elephants were gorgeous. It’s heart breaking to hear some of their stories, but knowing they have been saved gives you hope. Being able to feed them and contribute in a small way, made it such a wholesome moment. This is a must do in Thailand.

It was an amazing experience to feed and interact with the elephants. Me and my family were just in awe of the gentleness and intelligence of these animals. We are also glad to be supporting them through this sanctuary. They need our help to preserve their species and protect them from harm, extinction and exploitation as entertainment. This tour is a must in Phuket.

The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
